It's nice to see some recent Old School Death Metal. Proves that metal isn't dead!They released their first album Taste the Sin Through Fire in 2010 and an EP, Banished from the Light this year in February.

There are so many metal genres in the world today. What bands were the most influential in metal's history and why? Please mention what bands started particular genres and which ones improved/developed the genre even further!

A lot of early black metal. There is just something that is so perfect about the aggressiveness of Thrash Metal and the grittiness of Black Metal. Bathroy, Sodom, and Venom: all great black metal bands from the '80s.
